On the first part of the show, we’ll be joined by Emily Goodstein, director of Spiritual Youth for Reproductive Freedom. SYRF is a national organization that educates, organizes and empowers youth and young adults to put their faith into action and advocate for pro-choice social justice. Visit their website at syrf.org.
Next, we’ll talk with Dr. Mark Waldman, who co-authored How God Changes Your Brain with neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Newberg. No matter what your religious beliefs might be, there are benefits — and caveats — to religious contemplation and spiritual meditation.
Religion, youth, politics, and neuroscience… coming up.

Our interview with Dr. Waldman had to be rescheduled due to a communication problem in Malibu. Yes, even Malibu has its imperfections! Tune in for that interview with Dr. Waldman on October 6.
